How Will You Vote2

temperance people not to make
much stir during the present cam
paign. "Just let the people 60 to
the polls and vote as they see
proper. If we work at all let it
be a still hunt
Doubtless it will be a "still
hunt" on the part of the saloonlsts;
for who ever heard of men max
ing speeches, andi other demon
istrations in favor of the saloons.
They cannot do it. The logic of
events is all against them. | wish
they would come out of their
hiding places, hold mass meetings,
make public speeches and repre-
sent the saloon business in its true
colors. Wouldn't a procession
made up of saloon keepers and
their advocates, with all the Grim :
nails and paupers created by tie
saloon, present splendl /
spectacle in our streets? | shoul l
like to hold public discussion with
the man who advocates saloons S.
But these men do not engage in
public discussion. Reason, law,
order and conscience are all against
them. The "still hunt" suits them
much better. With many persons
a glass of liquor is far more po-
tent argument. 1t has turned the
scale of many a voter.
Temperance men of Kirksville
you cannot afford to make a "still
hunt in the present campaign.
Let the friends of the still
make still hunt! The sa-
looms may be fastened upon our
town four or five years, and when
at last you look upon the wreck
and ruin they will have wrought,
it will be a pleasure to know that
you did not keep still in the cam
paign against them. If mad-,logs
were loosed upon our town the
people of Kirksy lille would in
dulge in no still hunt against them.
Better by far that our fair city be
over run by mad-dogs than by
saloons. "Fear not him that can
kill the body; but fear him who
can destroy both soul and body in
hell" And this is the work that
will be accomplished by the
saloon keeper and those who
license him.
Some rave called me ian ex-
tremist" on this question. An
extremist? How can a man be
that, who has words to print the
horrors of the whisky traffic? !?
Who can picture the crimes and
crueltins that whisky has pro-
duced in our own city within the
past few months. Only last week
L saw a man reeling back and
forth and hardly able to keep his
saddle. There are homes in our
town where wealth and luxury
once existed; now broken hearts
and desolation reign instead. In
Kirksville [ saw man kick his
wife out of the door as if she were
dog, and curse her and black
guard her and add insult to injury.
saw mournful procession fol-
low that man to the grave. Whisky
killed him. a man died suddenly
in POOLS Hotel. 1t was an easy
stage from the whisky-seller to
the halls of death. Another man,
just lately, was stabued to death
at another hotel in our city. In
a crowded hall in this town the
people were terrified and the
police paralyzed with fear be-
cause a drunken man brandished
a revolver in the presence of the
audience. These are only few
of the results whisky has wrought
in our town during the few months
that l have lived here! Am l an
extremist because 1 condemn these
things?
And these are the things you
would perpetuate by voting fo
